With our calendars now turned to June, we are truly in the "runner's high" summer stretch of the fantasy baseball marathon. While we're more familiar with the chaotic starting-pitcher landscape of 2019, youngsters are being called up, doubleheaders are throwing wrenches, openers are...opening, and pitch arsenals are always changing, meaning you can never hit autopilot! In case you missed it, this is our sixth year now writing this weekly column, helping fantasy baseball managers pick the best pitchers weekly.
Below are the projected starting pitching matchups for Week 10, which will be updated as rotations are announced and tweaked. Injuries are claiming starters left and right, so this column will be continuously updated and adjusted for any postponements or rotation shuffles, reflecting official beat writer speculation for as many unconfirmed rotation slots as possible.
For every week of the fantasy baseball season, we look to analyze all of the projected starting pitcher matchups and put together our optimal lineups. Here at RotoBaller, we believe that it’s key to analyze every SP matchup, each and every week, to help determine which SPs to start/sit and identify some sneaky streams. Let's win some leagues!
Editor's Note: Our incredible team of writers received five total writing awards and 13 award nominations by the Fantasy Sports Writers Association, tops in the industry! Congrats to all the award winners and nominees including Best MLB Series, NFL Series, NBA Writer, PGA Writer and Player Notes writer of the year. Be sure to follow their analysis, rankings and advice all year long, and win big with RotoBaller! Read More!
SP Matchups & Start/Sit Recommendations
This weekly piece considers the pitcher’s opponents, their career stats against the opponent, some ballpark factors and historical splits. With all of this information, we then provide our start/sit recommendations for each starting pitcher matchup for the approaching week of fantasy baseball.
We'll now include a "Score" value that goes from 0-100, with 100 being a perfect start and zero being an easy sit. With 50 as the theoretical "Start/Sit" border, you can use the color-coded scores giving you valuable context to make your own decisions rather than abiding by an arbitrary Start/Sit threshold. Those set for two-start weeks are highlighted in yellow. Openers will have an asterisk if no "true" starter is announced by team beat writers. On your marks, get set...go!
This column will be updated daily as more rotations and starters are announced through June 9th.
